sorry, but I don't see any examples, I don't understand, might be I'm
too stupid. Anyway, I have not the time to studie CUPS for days,
weeks., ..
Bye-bye CUPS and Linux clients, see my answer in thread "cups - a
primitive software? [was: Re: no data..." above.
At the moment I serve my last customer with linux clients, I will solve
the problem using netcat on both PCs, I'll cat the job (file) directly
to /dev/usb/lp0. Thats realised in 10 minutes and I know it works.
Thx to all here for you hints, maybe CUPS is a wonderful software. But
it's not usable in small business affairs. I invested about 100 hours
last 6 years with CUPS-features, -bugs, -queues, .. and I now go back
to Windows and smbclient to print to Windows clients. Did smbclient ever
not work?
